“My interest lays in the changing American landscape, and this new series of pictures reflects my unease. Our land is a direct reflection of human existence – our past, our contemporary lives, and ultimately our impact. I explored, with empathy, these facets of society and the environment, looking to capture surreal moments, in order to better understand the complexities of our existence.” – David Benjamin Sherry. Paradise Fire will be on view until December 12 at Moran Bondaroff Gallery, 937 N. La Cienega Boulevard Los Angeles, CA
